 Python Sonar with Tox

+Sonar scans for Python based repos. This job invokes tox to run tests and

-To get the Sonar coverage results, tox.ini needs to exist and be configured

+To get the Sonar coverage results, file tox.ini must exist and contain coverage

 The coverage commands define the code that gets executed by the test suites.

-pointing out the code that is not tested at all.
+Checking coverage does not guarantee that the tests execute properly, but it
+identifies code that is not executed by any test.

+This job reuses the Sonar builder used in Java/Maven projects which runs maven
+twice. The first invocation does nothing for Python projects, so the job uses
+the goal 'validate' by default. The second invocation publishes results using
+the goal 'sonar:sonar' by default.
